An exciting new development that will allow locals and visitors to share in and learn more about the History of Harfield Village is ready to launch.

VoiceMap is an international project dedicated to creating audio tours for sharing stories about places of interest. The concept was launched in SA last year and already they have walking tours/stories for Kirstenbosch Gardens, Muizenberg, Bo Kaap and Woodstock to name but a few. The app is downloadable and then each walk has a cost to the user. As our village has a very rich and interesting history, which can be seen on our Area History page,Lew from Norgarb Properties has taken it upon himself to sponsor a Harfield audio “tour” thereby making a it completely free to all users. Lew in his continued efforts to promote and support the area would like to remove all barriersof entry to this fantastic initiative.

The tour consists of a walk of approximately 30 minutes and takes you into Harfield Village's past steeped in some very interesting stories that are even likely to raise an eyebrow or two.

Join us on Saturday the 4th July 2015 at 14:00 for the official launch of The Harfield Village VoiceMap Walk.

You will need a smart phone (Android or IOS) and a set of earphones, comfortable shoes and clothes or maybe even an umbrella, beanie and snow skis. There will be a get together at Home Bar/Restaurant afterwards for those who feel like quenching their thirst and having a chat or some laughs about the experience.

Please RSVP to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. if you wish to attend this rather awesome, unique and auspicious occasion!

For more information about how to download the application and how the day will run please click here.

There are a lot of changes happening in the village. In February Milk & Honey Beauty Salon opened in Harfield Village above The Avenue Restaurant. An opportunity arose for them to move to a larger more prominent shop front in the Village Centre which they grabbed with both perfectly manicured hands.

They offer the following services: manicures, pedicures, waxing, facials, lash extensions and massage. Find out more here.

Da Vinci's has opened up a brand new back bar area and have expanded their menu to include ribs. They have also got those great new specials running so pop in for dinner, meet some friends or hang out with family. More info here.

Fuel Fitclub has been a proud member of the Harfield Village community since February 2014, providing wellness consultations, support and fitness classes to the community.

Summers in Hampstead Park saw up to 60 participants per class. Winters were moved indoors to the Claremont Scout Hall. In May they were offered the opportunity to join with The Club which is situated in Stadium-on-Main.

Food has a lot of power over a lot of people. For some it can cause anxiety around mealtimes, others are consumed with food thoughts all day. For some it even has the power to change their moods! We all enjoy and desire food to a certain extent. But do you feel weak because you cannot resist certain food? Is it so bad that you don’t keep that food in the house? In this articleKim Hofmann explores the reasons why some foods may have power over us and how we can overcome this.

The competition is open to the whole community and there are numerous categories including:

- Traditional Garden

- Pavement Garden (Curb Appeal)

- Vegetable Garden

- Patio Garden

- Complex Garden

So there is a real opportunity for each and every person to get involoved and show off their green fingers. For more information on the competition, to see the awesome prizes that are up for grabs and to enter please click here.

As a locally based business, our roots and interests run deep in Harfield Village. When we stumbled upon VoiceMaps we thought that our Village would make a wonderful place to have a walking tour. With our many historical buildings and quaint streets, our public spaces that are so well cared for by the Friends of Harfield Parks, the great variety of businesses and the melting pot of people that make up Harfield Village, there is so much to experience. We hope that this walking tour sponsored byNorgarb Properties will bring more people to our Village so that they can experience the sense of community and togetherness that I experience every day in Harfield.

A reminder that anyone interested in buying we strongly suggest you sign up for our property alerts. It’s simple and quick and you will hear from us each week regarding new releases and show house info too.

In celebration of someone’s life and the courage that it takes to battle life threatening illnesses.
